Gods'illa - Saviours & Punishers feat. Sean Price



Sean P's wife must be cool with her fashion choices being put out there, lol. "Saviours ..." is a nice video editing-wise; Gods'illa contingent...are facing off screen in shots that give the piece an ill connectivity.

J*DaVeY - Whatchalookin@ | Kill 4 Fun



It's amazing how much creativity these two can fit into small spaces; nothing changes in the video shots except wardrobe and choreography, but it's still so visually engaging. Of course, dope music behind the moving pictures doesn't hurt matters.

Sidebar: We @ RFM don't care if a performer is pregnant in a vid or onstage; in our eyes it has no bearing on quality, but we'd really like to know what others think about Jack Davey and other women (MIA) getting down with a full belly.

30,000 Ft



SkyDiver and Roddy made a mark on our radar last year via "Roasted" ('Pilot Talk'), and now we're checking for their new joint. These dudes are actually refreshing because they look like the hip hop we see in the streets daily and...they're nice. Pretty boring interview footage but the black couch stage motif is hip. And Curren$y gets props for that particular throwback. (Go Eagles!!) 'Jet Life' album coming 11/29/11.

Mateo featuring Goapele & Ab Liva "Don't Shoot Me Down"



A song that has everything we love here @ RFM: great cadences, fire melody, ill bass, smart video composition, a beautifully talented singer, a dope Philly MC, solid lyrics...need we go on?!

Raekwon – Ferry Boat Killaz



Awesome pick for our inaugural Chef post! My lone Rae story goes like this: after Khemist & I ripped down the YardFest stage @ Howard Homecoming '09, I saw Rae on the corner of Georgia Ave & Gresham building with some DC heads about Yahweh knows what.

I had to quickly interupt just to tell Rae that 'Cuban Linx 2' was heavy on my mp3 player...especially the song, "Surgical Gloves;" he responds, 'yeah, yeah - surgical gloves!' You can always tell when real recognizes you; I felt that moment.


-Mike TV


Mike TV has no pics w/Rae so this one w/his brova Ghost (circa '05) is the next best.


This is RFM's all time favorite Wu-Tang album & 1 of our all time favorite album covers.

A Day In The Life Of DJ Soundwave Episode 2: DJ Lessons, Bad Directions and Practice Sessions (VIDEO)



This is well done - from the music to the editing. RFM loves & highly respects the DJ. And DC/the DMV is one of the most originally raw places on earth. Soundwave funny as hell too, so that doesn't hurt. Peep his site HERE.

"Cold az Ice" by Mazi Roe



'Is that yo chiiiiiick?!'

50 Cent Talks Minaj



We usually don't post stuff that's all over the hip hop blogs & such (peace 2 Nahright.com) but
1. We Love 50's interviews because he's insightful, funny & gully and
2. Mike TV's Scorpio ass loves the girl on girl/group sex talk.

The main part we like is when 50 says lesbianism within an orgiastic context is 'a moral decision...' Good stuff.

Rsix Cypher (Ep. 1)



Too Much Raw got busy! Twizz Matic's beat is superb. The Pit is awesome. Selina Carrera vibrated something vicious! O.H.M. has the math...but what would it all be w/o DJ Stradegy? RFM loves Philly hip hop!

"Sal's Pizzeria" by Gods' illa





OK, anything involving 'Do The Right Thing' & the bodacious Erykah Badu gets much play @ RFM! Of course, the joint still has to be a heater, and 'Sal's...' is just that. Did I mention that Badu is hosting Gods' illa's forthcoming 'CPR Blendtape' under the name 'DJ Lo Down Loretta Brown??'

Shouts 2 Langston & Inner Loop Media Group! Read on...

"Sal's Pizzeria" is inspired by the characters and themes of Spike Lee's classic film Do The Right Thing. In addition to the support from Erykah Badu, CPR Blendtape will feature all original music with guest appearances from Sean Price, Maimouna Youseff, RatheMC, yU of Diamond District, KingPen Slim and many others. Gods'illa hold the proud distinction of being the first artists to have a mixtape hosted by the legendary Erykah Badu. CPR Blendtape will available for free download April 29th via The Smoking Section.

JESSE I Heavyweight...Coming Soon



"I'M A HEAVYWEEEIGHTER!" (Jesse)

Raheem Devaugh - B.O.B (Dir. Chris "Broadway" Romero)



WSHH has is poppin lately! First B More canon D King's 'Be Timid' takeover, and now Raheem sets straight all the ladies relying on 'toys' to take them...there.

I must admit that in my hasty reading I thought the joint was a Raheem/B.O.B. collab, lol. I was hype! Anyhow...the vid is cool in an iRobot sort of way.

Check out Raheem's new mixtape, hosted by DC's DJ Money, HERE.

Telemachus ft. Roc Marciano - Scarecrows



We thought he officially changed his named to 'Roc Marcy'...guess not. His voice is still one of the best in hip hop; it's one of those that just sounds good in the background when dope shit is going down; that's why "Scarecrows" is a fun watch.

PHAROAHE MONCH - "BLACK HAND SIDE" FEAT. STYLES P & PHONTE



Pharoahe Monch "Black Hand Side" feat. Styles P & Phonte' by duckdown

I was wondering when we were gonna hear this kind of soul spittin from Styles P again. He assists one of the few true artists in hip hop, Pharoahe Monch, and the versatile Phonte with black magic. Check out the "W.A.R." commercial below then watch the "Desire" video (pops up when commerical is done). It's a RFM favorite!!

Jay-Z - 'The Evolution of My Style'



I can already hear the haters: 'Mike TV, you're such a Jay Stan!' No idolatry over here folks; I just appreciate the way the guy has authored and controlled his narrative since day one. I feel people who think that older rappers should step aside, but if they're still around they need to help outsiders understand part of the hip hop perspective by talking like Jay does here. This video is exactly what the game needs.

Saigon Cares



RFM is all about Internet Survival & real life triumph. We're proud to post footage of a great rapper actually trying to effect change in the hood. Big Shout out to James @ Kerosene Media for the update. Read UP!

“Me and some friends of mine, the Ahuja's that own a garment manufacturing company, took to the very cold streets of NYC over these past couple of nights to hand out warm blankets to help the homeless stay warm,” commented Saigon. “We covered Port Authority, Penn Station and the Bowery Mission Homeless shelter handing out over a hundred blankets. I did it because I had a little down time after finishing up my album and my friends, the Aluhja's, had some extra blankets so we decided to go hand them out to the homeless. If we can prevent one person from freezing to death out there on the streets, that makes everything worth it.

I wish more hip-hop artists would step up and help give something back to their communities. If everyone used the power they have to lend a helping hand, hopefully it would inspire others to do the same.”

Saigon is scheduled to unleash his debut album, “The Greatest Story Never Told”, through Suburban Noize Records on Feb 15th, 2011. The album was produced primarily by Just Blaze, the talented producer behind smash hits for Jay-Z, Eminem and T.I. The disc also contains contributions from Kanye West, Jay-Z & Swizz Beatz (“Cmon Baby”), Faith Evans (“Clap”) and former Floetry member Marsha Ambrosius (“It’s Alright).

The album is currently available for pre-order online with an exclusive 6 song bonus disc for fans at http://www.subnoizestore.com/PreOrder-Saigon-s/838.htm
